"No, and to tell you the whole truth, I don't care. Leading men to their death seems to be what I'm tasked with, and knowing them would only make my task more difficult. Now, if you could show me my quarters, I may forget that unforgivable lack of respect you've shown to your commanding officer."

Once inside our quarters, summon the different officers and important staff from the regiment to discuss the present situation. Also looks for items that we may need if we choose to desert.
 

[powpow]

^^ that and possibly meet the men (or beastmen) under your command and get to know them

[Sheb]

You do realize my proposition and yours are strict opposite? I do not want to meet the men, and you want to do it.

Wow. Thanks... Mcclay. I really didn't think you had it inside you.

Looks (and Grammar) can be deciving I guess.

[ggamer]

(( from Mcclay? I wasn't expecting that.

Anyway, Ima lurk until The tactical choices become available))

[Taricus]

Follow sheb's suggestion. Also look over the equipment of the regiment.

[Johnfalcon99977]

You ask about the Dragoons, also noting his lack of respect and your clear lack of optimism in command. He looks a little embarrassed and ashamed.
"S-s-sorry commander! Dragoons a-ar-"
He is cut off by what seems to be a commanding officer of a lower rank to you. He seems to be a Wolfman, and a clear veteran of more then a few wars.
"Private! Get back to your tent!"
"Yes sir!"
He quickly runs back off to the camp. The Wolfman greets you.
"Blank Eye. I am Drill Sargent Jarliki."
He looks off to the Private, still running off to the camp.
"And if you do not mind, I will tell you what that grunt was stubbling to finish. Dragoons are an elite shock troop designed for both mounted and foot combat. They are armed with both rifles and poleaxes."
He then guestures for you to follow him.
"If you do not mind, I will show you to your quarters."

You arrive at the largest tent in the camp. You enter to find it mostly empty accept for a large bedroll and some assorted light furniture. You sit in a small desk and call for a courier. (What seems like) A beastman walks in. You cannot identify who or what he is because of his Dark Green Head-Scarf. Most front-line Couriers from all nations wear this in order to help show their allegiance. However, this is used more out of habit rather then tactical gain in recent times. You send him to bring you the regiment staff.

Within a half-hour, the Courier returns with three people. Among them are the Quartermaster, Drill Sargent, and Chief Medical Officer.
The Quartermaster is a brownish spotted Dogman with, although they seem a little muddied, very proper attire. He seems to be completely at your attention.
The Drill Sargent is the war-veteran you meet earlier. He seems tried and not all too happy.
The Chief Medical Officer is a Human, to your slight surprise. He has Black Hair and Hazel eyes. He seems to be completely at you attention.

What do you do?

Drill Sargents to the Ariani nations are more people who observe soldiers moral and attitude. They report any problems that the soldiers may be having. This is a VERY important factor, seeing as your soldiers attitude to you can change quite a few things.

"What's the sitrep?"

[Taricus]

Get status reports from all three advisory staff members.

[mcclay]

(( wait, so apperantly i'm the guy who nobody on this forum thinks is smart and will always be annoying, shit. Using an actual computer so my spelling and grammer should be okay.))

[Sheb]

((You're the guys JF think isn't smart and always annoying. :p. Also, JF, I specifically said I didn't want to know what Dragoon are.))

"Gentlemen. War is hell. We all know that. I guess none of you are happy to be here. I, for one, would be the first to go away if I could. But I can't. Like it or not -and you don't- but we're stuck together until death or peace, with peace by far the less likely outcome.

However, no matter how slim our chances of survival are, I want them as large as possible. And I want them to be as large as possible for our men as well. That's mean discipline and high level of training for them. Drillmaster, I want you to set up a schedule of physical training right now, starting from tomorrow morning. Luckily, I haven't got any orders from the leadership, so we can stay away from the frontline without risking to be shot for treasons. Also, I know the traditions of poleaxing, but just drop them. Or at least don't spend time training with them.

Doctor, what are ou medical supplies? Do we have any injured yet? "

[Johnfalcon99977]

(( Also, JF, I specifically said I didn't want to know what Dragoon are. ))

(( I was merging USEC's request with yours. He asked to know what Dragoons were, and you had what he would do next. I put two and two together. ))

(( Edit: I have also just gotten Mount and Blade. I have gotten so many games this few last weeks, I rarely find time to check here. ))

[USEC_OFFICER]

(( I was merging USEC's request with yours. He asked to know what Dragoons were, and you had what he would do next. I put two and two together. ))

I was asking to know the history of the dragoons, not what they were. It was pretty obvious that they were shock troops (Though I'm guessing that they came from an era where cavalry as shock troops was a good idea).

[Johnfalcon99977]

The Courier walks over and stands by your desk. He seems very alert, although his expression is hidden behind his face-veil. You assume it is completely composed.

You inform your officers about your view points on war _{(Which seem to not be very high.)} and ask for a status report from each. The Quarter master walks forward and says,
"Food Supplies are full. There is no shortage of medical supplies. We have enough Gunpowder and bullets to take a fortress. All weapons are accounted for."
The Drillmaster walks forward and says,
"The Soldiers are still adjusting to your command. General morale is high. There are no major problems within the camp."
The Chief Medical Advisor walks forward and says,
"The Regiment is at full strength of 3000 men. All men are in fighting condition. Any and all injuries are very minor."

You get a small jolt as someone from somewhere out of sight speaks. You turn a bit to revel it is the Courier.
"Command recently ordered us to locate near Farside Forest. You have yet to appoint a second in command."
He then steps back, continuing his apparent vigil.

You request that the Drillmaster set up a long line of training exercises for the men. He nods and leaves. You dissmiss the rest, seeing as their is very little else they can do currently. As he is leaving, the Courier throws what seems like a few files on your desk. He mutters something,
"Psyche Reports."

You open the files and look through them. There seem to be a few marked out. Curiosity getting the better of you, you look through the reports for your own file. You find it and start reading.

Spoiler: Report (click to show/hide)

Johnathan T. Forsaken
Age: 25
Born: Human Noble
Rank: Colonel (Last Known as Sargent Major (?) )
Notable Features: One eye lacks both a pupil and Iris.

Report: This man is a very interesting. He has amazing leadership and charismatic abilities. He has also shown to be very inspiring and humble. During the battle of Gallirasi he earned himself a slight reputation among most local soldiers for a strategic calvary charge into the enemy, dispite the fact that he was injured in the attack. Another factor is that he is an exclent calvaryman and a superior fighter. He also tends to lower himself to the standards of his soldiers and constantly disires for their well-fare. Very strange for a noble. He is a great asset.

Overall: Very highly recomended for command. Personal recommendations from the Grand-Master General.
^{(( There is a note in read ink written here. It says "May be Grand-Master General himself one day!" ))}

The report flatters you a bit.

What do you do?
>_
^{(( Hint: Getting to know some of your soldiers is a good idea. It can increase their loyalty, morale, and sometimes even their skills among other things. ))
(( Hint: You also have a bunch of files with magical reports of everyone. Take a guess at what would be a good idea at the moment. ))}

[mcclay]

Read files, flatter soliders on what they are good at.
